# use_brand

Pin which profile this connection acts on. Pass the profile id or exact name from list_brands. Works for your own profiles AND one another account SHARED with you (pass its name or the profile id list_brands prints); access is verified against your real membership before it is pinned. Persists for this API key until changed, on every surface (hosted connector included — no environment variables, no restart).

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "use_brand",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why use_brand is rated High

use_brand triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

AI agents invoke use_brand to trigger actions in Hermoso. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Hermoso:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "use_brand": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "use_brand_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
